Overview
"Having completed three collections of work, Dutch theologian Frans H Breukelman left the bulk of his work to be published by a later generation of students. Rinse H Reeling Brouwer takes up the task, giving us ""The Structure of Sacred Doctrine in Calvin's Theology"". Brouwer brings to life Breukelman's extensive study of Calvin's doctrine from the first form of his Institutes - the 1536 basic catechism - through all its incarnations to the 1559 final, definitive form, his explanation of the Creed. Finally, Brouwer focuses on Breukelman's intriguing belief that the entire Reformed doctrinal tradition has proceeded along the line of only one of the possibilities in the structure of Calvin's theology."

Reviews
Katherine Sonderegger -- Virginia Theological Seminary -Rinse Reeling Brouwer has brought to the English-speaking world the erudite scholarship of Dutch theologian Frans Breukelman. . . Breukelman weighs in on controversies between Edward Dowey and T. H. L. Parker on proper interpretation of Calvin, and he assesses Karl Barth's legacy as a Calvinist theologian. Surprising and instructive insights are gleaned along the way on biblical narrative and the 'historicizing' of doctrine; the roots of Protestant modernism in older orthodoxy; and the relation of Calvin to Luther and Melanchthon. A rich resource for Calvin scholars!-
